Birth Cycle of an Experience: How to Change Your Life

by Anyaa H'redulla

As you will see at the top of the diagram above, the Cycle begins with one Conscious Thought. Often it's erroneous, but that makes no difference whatsoever. The Cycle has begun! If that thought is repeated frequently; if we hear it often enough from parents, family, peers, teachers, religious leaders, the media, etc.; or if the thought corroborates another subconscious thought we already hold, that Conscious Thought becomes a Belief.

The Belief is accepted by our Subconscious Mind as a Fact. Whether it’s true or not is totally irrelevant… it becomes our Truth. There are literally thousands – and some say millions! – of such beliefs stored as Truths or Memories in our Subconscious Mind.

The Subconscious Mind is our faithful servant. Immediately upon accepting a Belief, our Subconscious Mind sets about manifesting events or experiences (on an energetic level through the Law of Attraction) which support or mirror that Belief, and we eventually have Life Experiences that corroborate it.The Law of Attraction states: That which is like unto itself, is drawn. This means that if we hold the Belief that it’s difficult to make a lot of money, then that is exactly what our experience will be. The Subconscious Mind guarantees it. Like a magnet, we will attract the circumstances, people and experiences to support it. The exterior events in our life will confirm that it is, indeed, difficult to make a lot of money.

When our Belief is “difficulty making a lot of money,” we consciously see evidence through our life experiences that we are correct. This “proof” reinforces our Belief, which perpetuates the Cycle. Our Subconscious Mind continues to manifest experiences and events in our life that confirm, over and over, that it’s difficult to make a lot of money!

We only have to observe our life experiences to see what Beliefs we hold. Sometimes it’s difficult to isolate exactly what the Belief is, but if anything in our life is not to our liking, we know that we must change our Belief about it.Life continues to demonstrate our Beliefs time after time after time… until something changes. The “something” that must change is our belief system. Only by replacing our Belief “it’s difficult to make a lot of money,” can we ever experience anything different.Granted, this isn’t easy to do when everything around us screams that it IS difficult to make a lot of money. We may work hard and long because “everyone says” that’s what we must do (another Belief); we can work every hour God gave us; we can want to change our reality all we want; we can repeat affirmations over and over; we can pray; we can curse; we can wish; but if we hold a subconscious Belief contrary to what we say we want, nothing will change.To begin changing a life experience, we must start at the beginning of the Cycle by consciously thinking different thoughts. These can’t be the “wishing and wanting” type of thoughts – there must be at least a grain of truth in them in order for us to initiate a new Belief. But even a grain of truth is sufficient to change our reality. Thinking about having something while feeling doubtful will never work. The thought must be accompanied by a positive emotion. The more you're able to feel the positive emotion the better, and the sooner the belief will change. Let me give you a simple example:For many, many years, I was plagued by “there’s never enough money.” That was my Belief and that was therefore my Life Experience. Whenever I fed my cats and noticed that the bag was getting near empty, I panicked because it meant that some time in the near future I would have to find $25 to buy more cat food. That was the negative emotion that accompanied the thought. There were many other Life Experiences that upheld my Belief that “there’s never enough money,” but not being able to buy cat food became symbolic for me.I was acutely aware that I needed to change my Belief and thereby change my Life Experience. I’ve known about the Cycle for a long time, but somehow I hadn’t been able to make the change. I knew WHAT needed to be done, but I hadn’t been able to figure out HOW - despite many attempts at various methods.It’s hard for me to pinpoint when the change actually started, but I had been working on my Belief for some time using EFT and I’m confident this was the key to change. One day I did have enough money to buy cat food… without any undue stress. Somehow, there had been a shift within me and I held on to the belief that if it happened once, then it could happen again. I could be confident that I would always be able to buy cat food whenever it was needed. In fact, I actually became grateful whenever I fed my cats! That was the positive emotion that accompanied my thought. It has been a long time since that change and there have been further “ahas” about my Belief about money, but I always have enough money to buy cat food and still have a moment of appreciation every time I fill my cat’s bowl!
